Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions
If there is a building which symbolizes a country, such as the Eiffel Tower for France and Sydney Opera
House for Australia, then it has to be the Taj Mahal for India.
It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. From the time they
got married, they wouldn’t be separated. She followed him to wars, advised him on affairs of state, and was
loved by his people for her good work. But she died in 1631 during her childbirth. The emperor was
heartbroken and had the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love.
It took more than 20 years for the Taj Mahal to be built. Workers were brought in, not only from all over
India, but from central Asia too. A total of 20,000 people worked on the building.
In 1657, Shah Jahan fell ill and in 1658 his son, Aurangzeb, imprisoned his father and seized power. Shah
Jahan stayed in prison until his death in 1666. He was finally buried there with his wife, who he could
never forget.
The Taj Mahal is definitely worth more than a single visit. As it is built with white marble stones, its
character changes in different lights. It looks more beautiful at sunrise and sunset. At sunset, for example,
the color of the Taj Mahal changes from white to yellow, then to pink. As the moon rises, it turns a silvery white.
To show respect to the Taj Mahal, tourists are asked to take off their shoes during their visit.
31: Which of the following about the Taj Mahal is not true?
A. All workers building the Tai Mahal came from central Asia.
